Lighthouse.

I've never been or even seen a lighthouse before. I would really like to see one someday, I know it sounds stupid but I just have this fantasy about seein' one. So what about you? Ever been or seen a lighthouse before?

No. I haven't been to a lighthouse. But you mentioning it makes me want to go to one as well.

I've been to a couple and they are pretty cool. There's one in this small town by Daytona called Ponce Inlet. It used to be small Spanish military outpost. They still have some of the cannons.

I'm definitely going to look one up (there must be one here in Denmark) there are no lighthouses in the Philippines -- well, I haven't come across one yet.

Nope, but I've been down a gold mine, and a coal mine too.

A lighthouse is probably just the kind of thing that seems nice, but isn't actually all that great when you actually go there.

It is in the summer, viewing the sea from the top of it and giving random ships the finger always is fun.

No I haven't been to one, I've always thought of lighthouses of kind of "spooky", but I would like to go in one still:D

My Dad took me to one when I was little. He hyped it up a lot pn the car journey but it basically turned out to be a light on a stick :(

I was expecting a massive red and white thing.

I've been to the Tybee Island lighthouse in Savannah, GA. My mom is a fanatic about them and has travelled all over the US to see them. Most recently she went to the one at Point Reyes, CA.

I think I've been to a couple. I can't remember which ones, but I know I have been.

I was never on one, but I've passed by one on a boat trip. :)

Nope. I'm so landlocked it hurts. So I'd have to drive a few thousand K to see one.

If Pokemon counts, then yes, I've been in a lighthouse before.

I might've dreamt about a lighthouse once. Other than that, no.

Having not been to one, I don't honestly feel like I'm missing much.

Or anything for that matter.

I've seen the outside of one, but I never went inside. My mum's obsessed with lighthouses, all over our basement in our house. Kinda weird. I think they're somewhat creepy, well they seem they would be.

I haven't ever felt the need to go in one, but I've seen plenty.

I've been to one in Cornwall, UK AND one in Somerset, UK.

Somehow, that makes me feel slightly special in my special place.

Been there.

I've probably seen a few around the UK, too. Lighthouses aren't the most memorable things in the world.

Yes, I've been to a lighthouse. Trust me, they're not as exciting as you think.

My dorm is about a two minute walk south of this lighthouse, the Grosse Point lighthouse. Hasn't been active for a while now, but there's a park and beach there around it.
